Longbeard I've heard that quote so many times LOL

Out of all the testing I've done and I have spent countless hours on my range I have to say that it really depends on the gun and the combo. Now when I tested the Benelli I read lots on the 24 in over the 26 in and have to say that I am greatful got the 26 in. The largest reason most turkey hunter like the shorty barrels is that moving in the woods seems to be the largest factor, but as far as patterning dencity shots I believe they all seem to hold close with the laonger barrels being only a touch or few shot tigther.

You never get guys that shoot the shorter barrels to agree because it like the normal term " What I own is best " with most hunters...
